I have put the executable for version 0.69 of SML/NJ on ftp.cs.cornell.edu.
It runs on both '030 and '040 machines running 2.0.  Because the patches for
the NeXT didn't make it into this version, you cannot build 0.69 from the
distribution.

*** REMEMBER TO SET BINARY MODE ***

Here is a sample ftp dialog:

   $ ftp ftp.cs.cornell.edu
   Name: anonymous
   Password: <your name>
   ftp> binary
   ftp> cd pub
   ftp> get smlnj-NeXT-2.0.tar.Z
   ftp> bye

And then uncompress and detar:

   $ zcat smlnj-NeXT-2.0.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
   x README, 8181 bytes, 16 tape blocks
   x sml, 2064384 bytes, 4032 tape blocks
   $

A README file is included with more information.
